Baptisms

Baptism is administered straight after our 11.30am Family Service which takes place every week apart from the second Sunday of the month and in school holidays. Baptism families join us for this service. After you have completed a baptism application form a member of the church’s Baptism Visitors’ Group will come to meet with you. Nearer the baptism one of our clergy will talk to you about the nature of Baptism and the commitment involved, and go through the details of the service.

It’s very important to recognise that through baptism we are creating a brand new Christian who will become part of our community here at St Mary’s. That’s why it’s helpful to attend some services before the baptism so you can get a good understanding of who we are at St Mary’s and how we operate. And that’s why we hope to see you regularly in church after the baptism has taken place!
